It’s not status quo for the sake of status quo. This could lead to some toxic inner workings within the performers. “ why is he in charge and not me?” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't aware it was official. Until then, nobody needs to reach for a hammer and nails. Now, the chance of France winning the WC is very slim.

Extra time with potential PK's. Priceless! Edited December 18, 2022 by TOC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These were leadership positions within the Corps typically held by the most experienced members. They could always find something (plenty of things in our case) to work on if there wasn’t an instructor around. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's important is if injuries are expected in an activity one has to be prepared and limit as much as possible. Most of all take care of the situation. Even ask the marchers of the early days of drum corps how their knees are whom that high leg lift pounding into the ground, YIKES! The good ole days, as good as they were are tainted with very questionable things but of course we should have learned better by now, and of course some haven't as well as some newer staff maybe never learned. It all goes back to LEADERSHIP at the top. Concerning injuries- I follow college football (Geaux Tigers); players are same age as members of DCI Corps. Watch what happens when a player thinks that they may be injured- play or practice stop. Dead stop. The players know that when something pops or twists or whatever, everything stops. Medical/training staff come to the player & get them safely off the field for evaluation, and then game or practice resumes. I know Corps generally don’t have the same injuries (or size of medical staff) as football teams. But adapting the mindset of stopping when injured before you make it worse deserves some consideration. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
